SGA hosts debate for state representative candidates
By Lauren Rosse Staff Writer L.T.Rosse@iup.edu
Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Student Government Association held a candidate debate for the 62nd Pennsylvania House of Representatives District in Eberly Auditorium Wednesday. The two candidates, Dave Reed, RPenn., and Kevin Freeberg, D-Penn., responded to questions asked by IUP students. The students asking the questions represented the College Democrats, the College Republicans and the SGA. At the start of the debate, each candidate had a three-minute introduction. Freeberg talked about his experience with IUP: Not only did Freeberg attend IUP, but the majority of his family did as well. Freeberg decided to run for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives because of cost cuts made to the school system of Pennsylvania. Next, Reed, the current incumbent, gave his introduction. In the debate, Reed said he would like to talk more about policy than politics. Reed went on to say that there should be less focus on the far right and left wing and more on the issues. He then talked about all that has been accomplished already in his time as representative. Nine questions were asked total. • “What’s the most important thing for the government to do for college student today?” Reed was first to reply, saying that to help college students, it is important to provide an outside environment where

it is possible to get a job after graduation. Freeberg responded by saying that Pennsylvania has the third highest university costs and the lowest funding in the country. He said he feels that restoring the funding of higher education is a priority. He hopes that by restoring the funds to universities, the costs of attending school for four years would be lowered, thus creating less debt. Reed responded to Freeberg’s answer by saying that it’s all too easy for candidates to say they want to spend more on education during an election but the money comes from taxpayers. Because the money comes from the people, a responsible conversation needs to be held about how the money is being spent. Freeberg responded to Reed’s rebuttal by pointing out that there is money available to spend on higher education. Freeberg proposed that Pennsylvania put a severance tax on the gas produced in the state. The money made in the tax could go to education. • “There has been talk that schools in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education are starting to buy back their land and become privatized: If this were to take place, what do you think would happen to the PASSHE system, and how will it affect the students attending state schools?” Freeberg responded by saying that the PASSHE schools should be low-cost
for students in Pennsylvania, but they have the third highest costing tuition of state schools nationwide. He feels that Pennsylvania should adopt policies similar to other states, such as the policy that if a student graduates high school with a high enough GPA, the student can attend college for free if they keep up a certain GPA in college. Reed responded, saying that even if those students don’t pay for school, somebody still has to. He then went on to say that schools such as West Chester University have talked about becoming privatized. However, he feels the PASSHE schools are best together. Freeberg responded to Reed’s point by saying that he would also be against privatizing schools in the PASSHE school system. • “How should the legislators respond to the conversation regarding universal gun control laws in the PASSHE system, and how do you feel the environment will change if a change is made?” Reed said that the decision should not be up to the state but the schools themselves because of the 14 unique communities each of the universities are located in. Freeberg responded by saying that while he believes in the Second Amendment, he agrees that it is up to the schools to decide.

Indiana Community Music School receives funding from two organizations By stephanie bachman Staff Writer S.L.Bachman2@iup.edu
The Indiana Community Music School, a new program in its second year, recently received funds from the Pennsylvania Rural Arts Alliance and the Indiana Rotary Club. It is led by Jeff Wacker, who is also the coordinator of arts-in-education services for the Lively Arts. The program is only in its second year at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and it already has about 125 members for the fall semester. Wacker described the main goal of the new program. “It exists to provide music instruction to anybody that who would like it,” Wacker said. “That could be community members, beginning little kids, adults in the community or IUP students who are non-music majors but just want to learn how to play an instrument.” Because the music school is part of IUP’s community outreach programs, it is available to local residents as well as faculty and students. All lessons and ensembles take place in Cogswell Hall. The program serves people of all ages – from newborn to retirement – due to its wide variety of options available. In addition to learning to play an instrument, anyone can join a choir or ensemble, hone their skills in advanced lessons or sign their kids up for musikgarten.
Musikgarten is for parents and their young child, and it is designed to foster beginning music in newborns through five-year-olds. In a time when funding is being cut across the board, with art and music programs being hit the hardest, it is difficult to find funding for programs such as the Indiana Community Music School – especially for new programs. That is why the program was excited to receive $2,138 from the Pennsylvania Rural Arts Alliance and $1,500 from the Rotary Club of Indiana. The Pennsylvania Rural Arts Alliance is a subgroup of the Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts, which offers grants to programs across the state for arts-related projects. In the case of the Indiana Community Music School, the money is designated to help the fledging program with marketing, advertising, printing and other related costs. This will be essential for the program in order to help it grow and become even better. On the other hand, the Indiana Rotary Club of Indiana is a more local organization. It gave some funding to the Indiana Community Music School for music purchase. This could be sheet music, pieces for the choirs to sing, or something else music-related. What is so beneficial about this is that, although the program has access to the music library in Cogswell, it allows them to purchase music that is not available.
The Penn is hiring!
These grants go a long way in helping fund a program that is facing a lot of startup costs while also trying to keep program fees at a reasonable price. The grants can always be applied for again, but right now the program is looking for longer-lasting solutions for funding. Wacker described the need for this and his hopes for the future of the program. “We are always looking for corporations, businesses, anybody who would like to sponsor the community music school,” Wacker said. “We exist for the community, so we think that would be a great partnership.” One example of a business already sponsoring the program is Aramark. Classes are priced between $24 to $50 an hour for a lesson. Prices vary depending on whether the instructor is a music major or a professor. The different levels of instruction are teaching apprentices, teaching artists and music faculty members. Because these different options exist, those interested in lessons can pick which choice is best for their price range and teaching preferences. The program is always accepting new applicants and has auditions for the choirs and ensembles on a semester basis. For more information on the different programs offered in the Indiana Community Music School and registering for classes, information is available on iup.edu/communitymusic.

Last Femenist Friday of semester held By Margaret Burris Contributing Writer M.W.Burris@iup.edu
A diverse group of students, the Feminist Fridays group gathers one Friday per month to discuss gender equality as well as relate to others and share experiences. Unlike many groups, this one does not have a set agenda at the beginning of the meeting; the format is discussion style, which leads to open-ended questions and conversations. Every month, a thought-provoking discussion follows a prompt, and October’s prompt regarded the portrayal of women through Halloween costumes. Many women’s Halloween costumes are described as being “sexy,” which is a point of discussion. As the discussion progressed, it became clear that these “sexy” costumes were not the problem: The real problem is that there are so many of them and that wearing a “sexy” costume is put on a pedestal above wearing more conservative costumes. The general consensus of the group was that every woman has a choice
as to how she wants to dress, and she should not feel pressured into wearing a skimpier costume because it is what is portrayed as being the “right” choice. The Feminist Fridays group is largely successful after being an official club for only two years. Though in its infancy, it has many dedicated members that have returned for the second year, many with positive things to say about the club. “I am knowledgeable about feminism, and I like to learn what others think of feminism,” Ciera Marble (senior, nutrition) said. “I also look forward to see others striving toward goals, and I enjoy helping them understand feminism better.” These meetings encourage interaction among students as they sit in a semicircle discussing issues not only important on IUP’s campus, but also in the United States and around the world. The leader of Feminist Fridays is Alisia Drew, the assistant director of health awareness and women’s programs at IUP.

Tattoo shop celebrates Halloween By Mary Romeo Staff Writer M.E.Romeo@iup.edu
Sacred Ink Tattoo brought a different type of entertainment to Indiana Saturday evening at their Halloween Extravaganza. The free event was open to anyone 18 years or older and started at 6 p.m. Anyone 21 and over was permitted to bring alcohol. Internationally known professional Burlesque artist, Marlo Marquise, performed a body suspension show on flesh hooks. The event was not your typical runof-the-mill Halloween party. Students had differing takes on the performance. “It was a definitely something I was not used to,” Christian Clausner (sophomore, sociology) said. “It was very interesting, but there’s certainly a scene in Indiana that this fits into.” Josh Loftus (junior, communications media) said it was interesting to see the artistry performed live. “I’ve never seen anything like that live,” Loftus said. “I thought it was really artistic and cool to be able to see something so obscure.” The act of suspension is hanging a person from hooks pierced through flesh in various parts of the body, but typically from their upper back section, according to suspension.org “Body suspension isn’t something In-
diana has seen before,” said Ken Steele, a tattoo artist at Sacred Ink and member of the planning committee for the event. Steele even participated in the performance as well, as he was suspended in the beginning of the evening. “I didn’t really think it hurt that bad,” Steele said. “It was just a quick pinch and some pressure on your shoulders.” Anyone that was there could be suspended for a fee of about $150. Along with the live suspension performance, the event also featured autograph signing by an original cast member from “Dawn of the Dead” and food provided by Pita Pit. Audience members were encouraged to dress up, as there was a costume contest with prizes for first, second and third place. Indiana-based band, the Black Ridge, and Pittsburgh-based band, The Daily Grind, also performed at the event. Steele said that they received support and help from members of the community for the event. He also said that a journalism student, Juliette Rapp, helped him promote and find the bands for the event. “The community has actually really helped us out a lot, as we try to help them out, too,” Steele said. This was the event’s third year, and Steele plans on hosting a Halloween extravaganza in the following years to come with equally wild entertainment for the town to see.

IUP holds Day of the Dead festivities By Casey Kelly Staff Writer C.E.Kelly2@iup.edu
At Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s second Day of the Dead Festival Saturday, hosted by the Tlaculio Honor Society, attendees celebrated the lives of deceased loved ones with altar exhibits, music and authentic Mexican food. Campus organizations and individuals were asked to create altar exhibits to commemorate people in their lives who have passed away. Voting was divided into two categories: group exhibits and individual exhibits. The Upward Bound Math and Science program won the best group altar, and Nancy Lopez won the best individual altar. Lopez’s altar was built in honor of her grandmother, and UBMS’s altar had an education theme. Jacque Benhart, UBMS academic counselor, said the altar competition was a great way to get UBMS students involved in the IUP community and show off their creativity. “We have amazing scholars preparing for college,” Benhart said, “and this was a fun, social aspect to introduce them to. IUP is full of opportunities for each and every student.” Gift cards, which were donated by Pizza House, Cozumel, Tres Amigos and Kim Moon, were given as prizes. A Giant Eagle gift card was also purchased as a prize. Other participating organizations
were Strategies for Ecology Education, Diversity and Sustainability (SEEDS) Club, Phi Eta Sigma, Andale, IUP College Democrats, Pride and the Anthropology Club. Lisa McCann (graduate, sociology) is the founder and event organizer for the Day of the Dead Festival at IUP. “Day of the Dead is the Latin-American and Latino holiday that was originally to honor the ancestors,” McCann said. “They wanted to thank the ancestors for all the good things that happened, and they also wanted to remember them. In addition to the altar exhibits, IUP’s department of food and nutrition provided three authentic Mexican food samples: Abuelita, atole and candied squash. The Indiana Community Garden provided Mexican marigolds and Six Hand Bakery baked authentic Mexican bread. Following the public altars exhibit in the Ohio Room, a parade through the Oak Grove, which was organized by the Anthropology Club, took place from 5-8 p.m. “We wanted the event to have a very educational and scholarly component with the altars exhibit, and then the fun, festive side with the parade,” McCann said. McCann said that next year’s Day of the Dead festivities will involve even more community outreach than previous celebrations. Planning for the Day of the Dead Festival in 2015 will begin early in the spring.
Apple set to debut watch in early 2015 By Julia Love
San Jose Mercury News MCT
Hoping to give your loved one an Apple Watch for Christmas? The Chinese New Year? Valentine’s Day? At this rate, you may have to tuck the timepiece away in an Easter Egg. Apple executives have consistently told consumers to expect the watch in early 2015 – by which they apparently mean next spring, tech blog 9to5Mac reported on Sunday. Angela Ahrendts, Apple’s senior vice president of retail and online stores, told retail employees in an internal video message to brace themselves for a grueling stretch. “We’re going into the holidays, we’ll go into Chinese New Year and then we’ve got a new watch launch coming in the spring,” Ahrendts said in the video. The long-awaited Apple Watch was unveiled with great fanfare in September, but Apple still appears to be finetuning the timepiece. Tech experts have singled out battery life as a key issue for the gadget. While Apple executives have already conceded that the watch must be charged nightly, they are still trying to perfect the battery system, 9to5 Mac reported.

The final countdown As piles of homework and last-minute research assignments begin to pile up, stress starts to take over the minds of college students who have the “mid-semester blues.” It is that time of year, when students find themselves purchasing mass amounts of caffeine and microwave meals for on-the-go nights. The library suddenly goes from a ghost town to a packed family room full of study groups and quiet hallways. It can be hard for many to get things done, as the lack of energy and motivation suddenly hits hard on the minds of students across the nation. A way to put up a fight with the mid-semester blues is to take small steps to getting this end of semester work done. Set small goals during the week to accomplish – start with one paper and work up to multiple homework assignments a night. You can organize your goals with a planner and cross off each assignment when it is complete. Being busy is a good thing, but becoming overwhelmed can easily make any student become defeated and mentally exhausted. Forming a support group can allow for easy study hours to fly by and also help information really be learned with acronyms and funny similes. Don’t allow yourself to become isolated with your work. The expression “all work, no play,” is not a healthy lifestyle to live. The best way to relieve stress and to get things done effectively is to allow yourself to have work time and also relaxation time. Go outside: Binge-watching Netflix is not always the best way to escape the stress. As it becomes colder and rainier in Indiana, the days will seem longer and the mornings will make it seem impossible to remove yourself from your bed. However, you have to find inspiration in the future. Think about what will happen if you do really well on your next test or get an A on that research paper you have been working on for weeks. Midterms are finally over, so as we push on to the final stretch of this semester, remember: You can do it. You have made it this far, why not finish strong? Achieving success is all about attitude. As Henry Ford once said, “The man who thinks he can and the man who thinks he can’t are both right.”

John Esposito, distinguished alumnus of IUP, presented to journalism students Friday By RACHEL CLIPPINGER Wet Ink Editor R.M.Clippinger@iup.edu
A man known as “the hit man” traveled back to once again walk the halls of Indiana University of Pennsylvania Friday to tell his story of fulfilling his greatest dream with music. John Esposito, president and CEO of Warner Music Nashville, spoke to the journalism department Friday, saying that success in communication and utter determination will carry you miles. “My passion for music was on such of an emotional level,” Esposito said. “It made my heart beat.” Esposito said that his love for music sprouted in his early childhood, when he sang in the choir in his hometown of Punxsutawney. Esposito has played in numerous bands throughout his lifetime, and he described his college experience as musical as well. “When I wasn’t writing academically,” he said, “I was doing something with music.” He played locally on drums, guitar and vocals in Indiana at bars in college and booked coffeehouse shows regularly. David Truby, emeritus professor at IUP, taught Esposito during his time at IUP. Truby became a mentor of Esposi-
to through college and into later years of his life. “John did one thing important in his lifetime that I will forever speak of to others,” Truby said. “He tried to do a variety of things in the early part of his life. He worked in numerous positions relating to business, marketing, advertising, public relations and journalism.” Esposito was named a Distinguised Alumni, joining his father, Jerry Esposito, in 2011 for his outstanding work in the music field. After graduating from IUP, Esposito moved to Pittsburgh and played in a few bands as a drummer, where he got the full of experience of being a rock ’n’ roll band mate. He later moved to Washington, D.C., for a girl whom he later married and had two children with. In D.C., he worked in a record store for $4 an hour rather than accepting a job in the journalism field. “Life has funny twists and turns,” Esposito said. “When you see the fork in the road, take it. You never know when these opportunities will arise again.” Mentors in Esposito’s life gave him numerous opportunities along the way. A man at the record store in D.C. took John to a new company called “Harmony Hunt Records.” Here, Esposito learned the ropes of business and how to organize staffing in

a fair manner. Esposito was quickly given the nickname “the hit man” because of his abiliy to spot shop lifters – mostly employees – who would steal the records from the stores. Moving up in the ranks, Esposito became a buyer for Macy’s only one year after accepting the offer as a head hunter, and promoted to Mitsubishi East Coast sales operations for three times
the pay of Macy’s shortly after. At Mitsubishi, he found himself bored of the work. As a hard-working employee, Esposito decided, “idol hands do the devils work.” He needed to follow through with his once-fantasized dream of working in the music industry. Through connections and persistence, Esposito found an in doing retail work for The Whiz. During this experience, he was constantly bumping into people in the music industry. Eventually, this dream of working for a music label became a reality. “I think back to those days I could barely pay for a parking ticket,” Esposito said, “and now I have found so much success in something I love.” Warner Music Nashville has worked with numerous stars, such as Gloriana, Jessica Harp, Faith Hill, James Otto, John Rich, Blake Shelton, Hunter Hayes and Randy Travis. These stars were made into glorified artists due to the work of Esposito and his talented collaborator, Scott Hendricks, who has produced more than 60 No. 1 records so far at Warner Music. During Esposito’s discussion with the journalism department, he stressed the importance of passion and communication relating to working
relationships. Esposito has given several diverse internships and opportunities to students at IUP. Among the few are Dominique Nadik (senior, journalism), who is currently working as a publicity intern of Warner Music Nashville. Nadik deals with all things relating to press releases, artist clippings and media pitches to TV stations and radio sections. Nadik sat in on the speech from Esposito and understood the hardworking atmosphere that he discussed with the students. “There are so many people that go into making one operation successful at Warner Music Nashville,” Nadik said. “Esposito tried to explain to all of the students today how each employee dedicates their whole focus into their work, and I understand because I live it everyday. We have to give our all for the artists and the label, but it is all they have.” Esposito found success in his dreams because of pure passion for music. He left hoping students would remember one thing from his speech. “Most importantly,” Esposito said, “when people realize you’re passionate about something, they want to help you succeed in it, and they want to be a part of that journey.”
the same area and attended high school approximately 1 mile from IUP. “We met up in high school and just kind of jammed around a little, and then we started writing music,” Bizouski (senior, undeclared health and human services) said. The band now has two albums available on Itunes, Spotify and Amazon. “To The World,” their most recent album, was released in September. “We always love playing for a good cause and giving back to the community,” Bizouski said. Along with the live-music entertainment, the purchased tickets doubled as raffle tickets with a chance to win prizes. Many organizations donated to the Concert for the Cure event. There were prize baskets for the Indiana Mall, Regis Hair and Kitchen Collection, along with gift cards to The Coney, Steel City, Dingbats, Pizza House and YFET Bakery.
Phi Kappa Phi president Kulwinder Singh (graduate, employment and labor relations/food and nutrition), opened the concert talking about pancreatic cancer.
Phi Kappa Phi holds ‘Concert for a Cure’ to raise awareness for pancreatic cancer By MARY ROMEO Staff Writer M.E.Romeo@iup.edu
“Concert for a Cure,” hosted by Phi Kappa Phi, was held Thursday in the Hadley Union Building Ohio Room at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. The concept of the concert was to raise awareness for pancreatic cancer. Tickets were sold at the door for $2, and all proceeds went to funding research. Four vice presidents, one adviser and one president of Phi Kappa Phi helped plan and implement the event. “It’s a nice way to be involved while staying safe,” student president of the association, Kulwinder Singh (graduate, employment labor relations and food nutrition), said. “It’s just a good alternative for a Thursday night.” Performing at the concert were local student bands Sheeps in Wolves Clothing, Coastal Remedy and William Forrest.

‘An Evening of Story Legends in Music and Dance’ performed Saturday By RENÉE WILLIAMSON Staff Writer R.A.Williamson@iup.edu
Fisher Auditorium encompassed Igor Stravinsky’s “L’Histoire du Soldat” and Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring” Saturday in “An Evening of Story Legends in Music and Dance.” Family members gathered in Fisher Auditorium lobby with coats and flowers, waiting to be let into the main hall. Once everyone had been seated and the crinkling of programs subsided, the curtains rose, conductor and co-director Dr. Jack Stamp lifted his baton and the soldier, played by Kelli Pate, marched across the stage, kicking off the first scene of “L’Histoire du Soldat.”
“L’Histoire du Soldat” is the story – set in the early 20th century – of a young soldier who makes a deal with the devil on his way back from war. He runs into obstacles as a result of his bargain and attempts to clean up the mess he’s made. In the end, the relationship he made with the devil always ends up interfering with his life. This segment of the production gave the feeling of a story being told out of a storybook. The portrayal of a classic good-versus-evil tale was evident in the playful representation. The second story, “Appalachian Spring,” – set in the 1940s – is the story of a couple’s journey to get married

while receiving guidance from elders. This show was more contemporary and was set in rural Pennsylvania. April Daras’s performance as the mother evoked the true emotion of separating from a loved one as life carries you in different directions. With an absence of elaborate set design and only a few props, the cast, musicians and technical team were still able to portray the stories in the night’s production. Dancers embodied the neoclassical style of “L’Histoire du Soldat” as well as the quirky modern style of “Appalachian Spring.” The two diverse executions were able to illustrate the contrasting storylines as well as the range of Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s dancers. A prominent use of light was directed by David Surtasky as he paired it with the emotion and atmosphere of the production. The seven musicians in “L’ Histoire du Soldat” each played a different instrument, putting the responsibility of perfection on each and every member. This was a similar case in “Appalachian Spring,” with the exception of two violinists appearing. To get a sense of the work put into the production, Michelle Worzbyt – wife of Jason Worzbyt, the bassoonist – spoke of her husband’s involvement in the show. She said he spent four to six hours
a day rehearsing for the production, along with working on other projects and being the assistant director of bands. A family feel between the cast members was prevalent throughout the show, as well as at the end when Daras was surprisingly presented with flow-
ers on stage from Alexandra Jayne, who played the bride in “Appalachian Spring.” Stamp will be conducting another production, Copland’s opera “The Tender Land,” the last full week of class in December, as well as two concerts this spring.
April Daras (professor, theater and dance) and Alexandra Jayne (junior, biology) portrayed mother and daughter in the “Appalachian Spring” ballet.

IUP tops Clarion with ground-and-pound strategy Crimson Hawks break losing streak on football field with 31-0 win vs. Golden Eagles By JOSH HILL Staff Writer J.M.Hill5@iup.edu
The Crimson Hawks have developed a particular blueprint for success over the last number of years under head coach Curt Cignetti. It is pretty simple: Run the football, play hard-nosed defense, and win the turnover battle. IUP (6-3) was able to do FOOTBALL those things, and they were also able to record the first shutout of the season, defeating Clarion (27) 31-0 on Saturday. Indiana University of Pennsylvania set the tone on the second play from scrimmage when Ackeno Robertson (sophomore, accounting) intercepted a pass and returned it 14 yards for a touchdown. IUP would not look back. Chris Temple (freshman, accounting) had 114 yards and a touchdown on the ground, and the Crimson Hawks had over 250 yards on the ground as a team. Luigi Lista-Brinza (freshman, kinesiology health & sport science) added 71 yards on 19 carries, and Izzy Green (sophomore, computer science) had 50 yards on 12 carries. Cignetti was pleased with the effort his team put forth, particularly in the running game.

“It was good to get back to running the football and establishing a physical presence,” he said. IUP’s defense was just as dominant as their offensive counterparts, holding Clarion to minus-8 rushing yards and sacking quarterback Connor Simmons three times. The defensive line was as dominant as the Crimson Hawks have been up front all season. Karon Gibson (junior, hospitality management), Bryce Gilbert (graduate, continuing education) and Shane Meisner (senior, criminology) combined for 12 tackles and three sacks of Simmons, who was forced to leave with a lategame injury. Linebacker Alexander Berdahl (senior, marketing) was appreciative of the defensive line and the effort they provided. “I barely did much,” he said. “Our D-line did everything.” On the other side of the ball, IUP used a dual-quarterback system on offense, playing both Eddie Stockett (freshman, business) and Chase Haslett (graduate, sports management). The two quarterbacks split time, and they threw a combined 12 passes. Haslett entered the game having thrown as many touchdowns as interceptions in eight starts, while Stockett’s appearance marked his first extended action of the year. One of the quarterbacks’ passes was a 30-yard bomb from Stockett, who also threw an interception against Clarion, to Walt Pegues (freshman, communica-

tions) as time expired in the first quarter. It was Stockett’s first pass of the season and also resulted in the last of 24 first-quarter points by the Crimson Hawks. “I just try to make a play when my name is called,” Pegues said. Pegues is also relied upon heavily on both kickoff and punt returns, along with his regular receiving duties.
November 4, 2014
“Walt Pegues is a really outstanding player and a great person,” Cignetti said of the talented freshman. Clarion might reflect on a game full of missed opportunities. The Golden Eagles reached IUP’s red zone on several occasions but was unable to put any points on the board. One of Clarion’s field goal attempts was blocked.
(Nick Dampman/ The Penn)
Clarion head coach Jay Foster credited the Crimson Hawks for making the necessary plays to win the game. “It was just one thing after another, and that’s a credit to them,” he said. “When we had our chances, we didn’t execute.” IUP will hit the road for their next game against Gannon University. Kickoff is set for noon Saturday.

IUP earns 7th seed in PSAC playoffs Women’s soccer kicks off postseason against West Chester By CASSIE PUTT Staff Writer C.L.Putt@iup.edu
As the regular fall season came to a close Saturday, the Crimson Hawks earned the seventh seed in the Pennsylvania State Athletics Conference standing, earning the team a berth in the postseason. Indiana University of Pennsylvania lost to Gannon University Tuesday with a final score of 7-1 and tied Mercyhurst University 1-1 Saturday. In the 34th minute of play against Gannon, Taylor Vladic (senior, criminology) scored the lone goal for the Hawks. A series of passes between Brittney Kuhns (senior, exercise science) and Riley Bartoo (freshman, nutrition) led to the opening goal of the game. Regardless of the initial goal, competition against the Golden Knights proved difficult for IUP. The Crimson
SOCCER
Hawks struggled throughout to gain a steady lead. The Knights outshot IUP 25-8, while 17 of those shots were played in the latter half of the game. An explosion of six goals in the second half gave Gannon a huge lead and ultimately the victory over the Crimson Hawks. On Saturday, the women’s soccer team ended its 9-6-3 regular season in a double-overtime game against Mercyhurst. The scoreboard showed no goals for either team as the whistle blew for halftime. Twelve minutes into the second half, Kuhns dribbled downfield and blasted a shot to the back of the net for her ninth goal of the season and the opening goal of the match. “I was really focused on the goal because I knew we needed a win or tie to move on to playoffs,” Kuhns said. “We worked as a team and pulled through and got a tie.” Unfortunately, it was a short-lived lead for IUP, as the Lakers tallied a mark on the board several minutes later, tying the game at 1-1.
Women’s volleyball slumps to seven-game losing streak By BRITTANY ARENT Staff Writer B.M.Arent@iup.edu
The Crimson Hawks women’s volleyball team was victorious in its first set against Seton Hill University on Friday, Oct. 24, but saw its losing streak extend to seven straight afterward. Indiana University of Pennsylvania women’s volleyball team traveled to SeVOLLEYBALL ton Hill to add another tally to their wins this season. Unfortunately, IUP was not able to win another set that night. The Crimson Hawks dropped sets two, three and four with scores of 25-13, 25-14 and 25-17. Lily McWilliams (sophomore, nutrition and dietetics), Elizabeth Sova (se-
nior, hospitality management), Lauren Hester (redshirt junior, speech-language pathology and audiology) and Alexis Anderson (freshman, marketing) contributed six kills each and a combined eight blocks. Lindsay Moeller (sophomore, early childhood and special education) had 16 assists, and Katie Miller (freshman, anthropology) had 11 assists. Moeller also was tied with Hester for a matchhigh nine digs. The team took to the road to compete against California University of Pennsylvania on Saturday, Oct. 25. The Crimson Hawks fought until the end but lost to the Vulcans 3-0. The set scores were 25-14, 25-17 and 25-20.

The Hawks outshot Mercyhurst 10-7 with attempts recorded from Victoria Crawford (freshman, psychology), Lexi Palluconi (freshman, health and human services) and Alyanna James (senior, biology pre-med). “I feel like we could have won the game because we had a lot of shot opportunities,” Crawford said. “But I am satisfied with the tie because it still got us into the playoffs.” Competition rolled into two overtimes where neither team recorded any shots, proving the strength of both defenses. The final game earned the Crimson Hawks the seventh seed in the PSAC standing. IUP will gear up against West Chester University for the first playoff game in the PSAC postseason Tuesday. “I’m looking forward to making it as far as we can,” Crawford said. “That is our ultimate goal in winning the PSAC title coming in as underdogs.” Other teams who earned playoff contention at the end of the regular season are East Stroudsburg, West Chester, Kutztown, California, Slippery Rock and Edinboro, respectively.

Men’s basketball shows fight in exhibition vs. Pitt Crimson Hawks fall to Panthers, 72-58 By VAUGHN DALZELL Staff Writer V.S.Dalzell@iup.edu
Hustle, heart and chemistry were on display at the Peterson Events Center Friday night in Pittsburgh. The scoreboard was not a determining factor in showing how well the Crimson Hawks played against a toptier Division I school. In a 72-58 loss, Indiana University of Pe n n s y l va n i a not only shot better than the Pittsburgh Panthers, but showed more focus and fight. Devante Chance (senior, communications media) and Jeremy Jeffers (senior, communications media) continually made plays to keep the Crimson Hawks in the game, rather than it being off a shot or dribble penetration and kick-out pass for a easy bucket. Chance seemed to play his best basketball off of screens, netting half of his assists off of them and finding the open man every time. IUP also appeared unselfish in the game, striving to pass the ball around to various players. Chance and Shawn Dyer (graduate student, criminology) led the team with six assists each, but at times, the team struggled with turnovers, totaling 16. Pitt only had 10. “The chemistry is good,” Chance said. “There is great room to improve, but for only playing with each other for the short amount of time, I think it is very good.” In his press conference Thursday, head coach Joe Lombardi noted that the team’s bench is much deeper than last year’s with a relief rotation of nine players. Three bench players eclipsed 13 minutes or more of playing time in the game. Chance and Dyer saw a significant amount of playing time, combining for 74 minutes. Fouls were also an issue with the team as Daddy Ugbede (junior, com-
munications media) fouled out with a little over nine minutes left in the game. Overall, he played well in his first action with the Crimson Hawks. Ugbede was aggressive rebounding the ball, giving Lombardi confidence that the Drake transfer amd Devon Cottrel (redshirt junior, communications media) can control the front court for IUP. One thing Lombardi called too late in the second half was a zone defensive scheme. And when that happened, the team seemed to struggle rebounding, only having two offensive rebounds in the second half against a larger, more physical Pitt team. It remains to be seen whether or not the Crimson Hawks will stick to their zone defense against bigger teams and how well the team’s chemistry can evolve – both offensively and defensively. The three ball was hitting for almost all, with Jeffers hitting multiple three balls on back-to-back possessions in the first half. As a team, IUP converted 36 percent of its shots against Pitt’s 32. One player Lombardi said he has high hopes for is Stefan Osborne (redshirt freshmen, sociology). “[Osborne] has elite range and can be an elite shooter off the bench for us,” Lombardi said. Osborne did not get much going offensively, but a player that did was Tevin Hanner (junior, sociology), who had the highlight of the game with a set alleyoop from Chance in the second half. The dunk ignited the Crimson Hawks, who went on to score on three consecutive possessions. If Chance and Jeffers can be consistent and the Crimson Hawks display the type of performance they had against a larger team like Pitt, IUP will have the opportunity to prove its worth as the preseason No. 9-ranked team in the nation. The Crimson Hawks travel to Tampa on Nov. 11 to take on the South Florida Bulls in their second and final exhibition game. For IUP, the regular season begins on Nov. 14 at Memorial Field House against Urbana.
